I had a great time at the march

[MrScorpio]

It was a beautiful day, peace and love was in the air

Now, I'm sore as shit, but it was well worth it

[jonnyblitz]

1. as did I...and i feel the wear and tear myself today

I am not 21 anymore that's for sure.

it was nice seeing you, btw, though our encounter was brief, which is sadly often unvoidable at an event of that magnitude. i was particulary pleased to see the turnout of all the younger folks. Yes there were people from all walks and ages but i noticed a greater participating of the college age crowd at this one. I usually hitch a ride on a bus with the Rhode Island ANSWER people and THIS time around they had damn near triple the amount of buses going down, all filled with college kids from the local colleges.

I am still processing yesterday. I didn't sleep the night before due to travelling to get there and I was kind of overwhelmed by it all. :hi:

[MrScorpio]

2. There were a bunch of DUers that I didn't get to meet at all

I only came up for the day of the march

It was good to see everybody that I did. You too, Buddy!

[jonnyblitz]

4. i was just there for the day also..

I call them "drive by" protests. I travel 6 or so hours on a bus, jump off, shake my fist and holler at the white house for a minute, jump back on the bus and travel 6 or so hours to get home! :P

[MrScorpio]

6. Well, I'm sure that we'll have more chances to do it again

Anybody out there was a help

[jonnyblitz]

9. we will. those bastids aren't going away any time soon...

we have to do it again and again.

3. Good to see you posting, my dear MrScorpio......

I'm so pleased you were able to go to the march.....

You represented so many of us who were unable to be there.....

Are your computer troubles over as yet? I sure hope so.....it is strange to not have you to talk to these days.....


:loveya: :pals:

You have been missed, and not just by me.....

[MrScorpio]

5. Thanks, Peggy Love

Nope the computer is still in the shop

And I need to get it out

It's just gonna cost me $451 to do it

[LynneSin]

7. I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you!!!

I went to CVS to get some cough medicine and started feeling a bit woozy. I've been hacking like I smoke 3 packs a day (I'm a non-smoker) and my body is worn out.

But I was so glad to meet you. BTW, we all agree that you have an amazing voice. You could read to us from a phone book and we could listen to that voice all day long!

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

11. It was great to meet you too, Honey Pie

I might have to take up on that offer someday

[JimmyJazz]

8. Hey, darling!

I see you mad it home in one piece. That was a hellavu day, wasn't it? All those dozens of protesters and thousands of counter protesters! :sarcasm:

BTW - Just in case there was ANY doubt, MrS give THE BEST HUGS, EVAH! :loveya:

[MrScorpio]

10. Those hugs were so easy to give

Because I have good friends like you!

:hug:

[JimmyJazz]

12. Aw - that's so kind.

Besides, anyone who has my back when I'm screaming at freepers is okay by me! You would have stopped me from going over the fence, wouldn't you? :P

[MrScorpio]

13. I would have picked you up

And threw you over my shoulder

But you did just fine

[Lizz612]

14. I was there

I was feeling a cold comming on and then I march AND danced till 1am. I'm feeling it all now; sore, sniffly, no voice. But oh so very worth it. One of my best protest experiences

[latebloomer]

15. Sorry I missed you!

I was with my husband, kids and mom-- tried to find the DU contingent but there were SO many people by noon that I quickly gave up. Caught up with a bunch of them Sat nite, tho.

Wonderful inspiring day!!

[redwitch]

16. Damn, I missed too many people! Met a few DUers at the Hawk/Dove

But it was so crowded too. The march, Oy vey! Hubby and I got to the ellipse pretty early on Saturday but there was so much to photograph, we just got caught up in the excitement. And then suddenly there was no space between bodies, jammed together by the thousands- and I loved it, loved it. Saw a few Duers in the march, saw the great sign with names of absent DUers, Never did meet up with the main group though. It was heavenly to be with so many great people.
